*I’ve worked this year to create this recipe for banana nut muffins that are little healthier, but still moist and enjoyable for those with a little sweet tooth. I cut back on the amount of sugar, but to make it extra special sometimes I toss in some leftover chocolate chips. I usually use brown rice flour instead of the whole wheat flour when I have it on hand.
